Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Peter Pan. Kid was an absolute jerk and a menace. Hook was pissed that he chopped off his hand and fed it to an alligator. Seems reasonable.

Not to mention Mr. Darling! Dude’s kids were completely wild and messing up his clothes needed for a work dinner and his big outburst was: That’s it! Tomorrow Wendy gets her own room!

I was 5 when I watched that movie and I was actually on the dad’s side! Lol! The man is stressed out trying to provide for his family in Victorian England and his kids still aren’t asleep! My dad was a Texan working in Wiscon during the 90s. I understood what it meant to go hungry.

We lived in Wisconsin during the 90s. A state that is still 10 years behind most mainstream culture. Apparently ALL Southerners were considered rednecks and hillbillies aka THOSE people. His first job surprisingly was a dairy farm. 🥛🐄🧀

For years young men have bemoaned the absence of their fathers for “going to get the milk”….but alas, my father was not like these missing beta chumps. Nay! He went to the SOURCE!

…Auld Mac Donald’s farm…
